The CalAsian Foundation
Building the next generation of leaders and empowering today’s changemakers.
Equipping and Empowering The AAPI Community
Since 2010, the CalAsian Foundation has worked with leaders from California’s most influential companies to accelerate the success of the local, state, and national AAPI community.
Designed for Excellence
Our programs deliver professional leadership development, critical education and training, and promote civic engagement.
Geared for Influence
We empower the AAPI community with the training, knowledge, and connections to ensure our voices are heard and impact is felt.
Driving Change
We are creating a pipeline of leaders who will influence and positively change outcomes in our communities.
Our Programs
These programs have been specifically designed by CalAsian to help AAPI leaders, entrepreneurs, and organizations gain access to development training and resources.
Empower Corporate U
Empower Corporate U is intended to help re-engage staff members. We will do this by creating a means for staff members to find meaning and fulfillment in their work. We will explore creating and restoring healthy working relationships. We will breakdown myths and offer new insights that will create a more satisfying work environment.
Catalyst Leadership Program
This program aims to develop and connect the Sacramento region’s diverse emerging leaders. During the program, participants will expand their individual leadership and management skills, create meaningful relationships with emerging leaders across different industries, and gain insight from the experiences of established community leaders.
AAPI Lift
Connecting AAPI entrepreneurs and business owners with insight, training, and 1:1 support on the process of pursuing political office, appointments, committees, and to become civically engaged in politics.
NextGen Empower U
A three-month program designed to empower the next generation of AAPI college students and young professionals to discover and develop their own definition of life success through relationship building, creating a personalized toolkit through education, navigating their career throughout their lifetime, and generating wealth to create financial independence.
AAPI Strong CA
AAPI Strong CA is a part of the national #AAPISTRONG movement led by National ACE. Our goal is to connect AAPI small business owners throughout the United States with resources to combat discrimination and find meaningful solutions together.
Together, with our corporate and nonprofit partners and in partnership with National ACE, we are standing against the racial bias, discrimination, and fear that has plagued our AAPI business communities. The CalAsian Foundation is focused on combating the nationwide rise in AAPI bias, harassment, and violence in our business and small business communities across the country.
